You're bound to get a positive result if you outscore your opponent every quarter and that's exactly how it played out for Rochester on Friday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that they blew the Peru Tigers out of the water with a 50-0 final score. Considering the Zebras have won five games by more than 33 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Rochester got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Trenton Meadows out in front who picked up 74 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 54 yards and one TD on only five carries. Brant Beck was another key rusher, rushing for 118 yards and one score on only 11 carries.

They were just one part of a punishing run game: Rochester was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 257 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 184 rushing yards in 15 consecutive matchups dating back to last season.

Rochester pushed their record up to 5-1 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Those road victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 46.3 points over those games. As for Peru, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-5.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Rochester will face off against Northfield at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Zebras will be up against the Norsemen's rather soft defense (which has allowed 38.67 points per contest), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. As for Peru, they will challenge Southwood at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Tigers will be up against the Knights' rather soft defense (which has allowed 35 points per game), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
